DAY THREE: New York Citys largest-ever nurses strike entered its third day Wednesday, with negotiations appearing at a standstill and nearly 15,000 nurses continuing to walk picket lines at three major private hospital systems.
The strike involves nurses at Mount Sinai Health System, Montefiore Health System, and NewYork-Presbyterian, and has centered largely on staffing levels, working conditions and patient safety. Hospital officials and union leaders traded sharp accusations Wednesday, particularly over a disputed proposal related to substance use protections for nurses.
